2008 Mazda Tribute Review

 

Handling

Nothing much about the Tribute’s handling sets it apart from other small SUVs. It doesn’t exhibit any bad habits at low speeds and tooling around town it rides comfortably and maneuvers parking lots easily. Out on the highway, the body roll and wallow don’t inspire confidence at freeway speeds. The brakes are good, with a solid feel in the pedal and are easy to control. Aggressive stops were drama-free thanks to antilock and brake-force distribution. The electrically assisted power steering was numb regardless of vehicle speed and despite its variable ratio.
